Assassinating politicians is pretty easy. Its really just a matter of someone wanting to do it. The more you pull shit like this, the higher the chance gets that someone will be like "Ok, time to do some vigilante justice."

As we saw with Japans Shinzo Abe and more recently Slovakias Robert Fico

But assassination is not the same as public execution. Just doesnt send the same message.
